Ramon Otting

Ramon Otting (1969) is exceptionally open to all inspiration offered to him, and processes it

into new work with the speed of lightning. Inspiration not only from people, but definitely also from nature. He can’t work without that source of inspiration.

He started processing the sketches and pictures he made while in Texas. This resulted in many paintings from landscapes, but he also highlighted elements typical for the USA such as wooden farmhouses and sheds, derricks and, of course, the pick-up: ‘the ultimate American tool’. In an almost unavoidable reaction to these Texan paintings a series of Dutch landscapes ‘with typical Dutch diligence’ followed. From that time he travels a lot through France, Italy and Spain to explore and paint the terroir in these areas.
